Rambam in Perek Yud Aleph and Yud Beis of Hilchos
Melochim
is the discussion of Melech HaMashiach, Yemos HaMashiach,
אל יעלה
על דעתך שהמלך
המשיח צריך
לעשות אותות
ומופתים
, Umechadesh Devarim Baolam, Umechayei Mesim, וכיוצא
בדברים אלו
שהטיפשים
אומרים
. Ein Hadavar Ken. Melech HaMashiach is part of a
natural, albeit ideal, utopian vision and mimmayla it's not part of his
persona or part of his credentials to be an instrument for ososs umofsim.
The Rambam brings a rayah שרבי
עקיבא חכם
גדול מחכמי
משנה היה והיה
נושא כלים של
בן כוזיבא
המלך והוא היה
אומר עליו שהוא

ודימה הוא וכל

ממנו לא אות
ולא מופת
.

There's a story told that the Chofetz Chaim was once
traveling incognito on a train and he didn't wear rabbanisha garb. He
dressed like amcha. And rachmana litzlan a missionary was who was
trying to meisis and mediach some yeshiva bochurim. And he
was talking to them about why they don't believe in Oso Ish.

So they told him because our rabbanim, our rabbis
told us not to. Our rabbis told us that he and everything that grew up
around him is fraudulent. In Oso Ish's lifetime he was a mashiach
sheker
. He was posthumously promoted to be an avoda zara.

In his lifetime he was just a mashiach sheker. So they
told the missionary that our rabbanim, our rabbis rejected him.
So the missionary said "What do your rabbis know? Your rabbis
thought Bar Kochba was mashiach. So you see what your rabbis
know?" They were a little flustered.

So at that point the Chofetz Chaim, again he didn't
pull out his gedoilim card and identify himself but he joined the
conversation and he says to the missionary "Well how do you know the rabbanim
were right? Maybe the rabbanim were right?" So the missionary says
"What are you talking about? Honestly they were wrong, he was
killed." So the Chofetz Chaim says "Oh". The traditional
Jewish belief as reflected here in this Rambam, as reflected in that story with
the Chofetz Chaim is that Mashiach isn't resurrected. Melech
HaMashiach
doesn't come back from the dead, he's not resurrected. The
belief which is disseminated in our day by Lubavitch is a very radical
departure from traditional Jewish belief.

It's not what we've believed for millennia. It isn't what we
believe. It is the most unpleasant and unwelcome task in talking about divrei
Torah
is when one has to highlight what's wrong, but there is a chiyuv
to do so. Part of bakashas ha-emes is to know and to understand and that
we should all share with each other what's emes and what isn't emes.

In terms of hilchos shemiyas ha-lashon, it's a chiyuv,
if the Chofetz Chaim writes it's a chiyuv, if a talmid has
a rebbe הולך
בדרך לא טובה
, if a talmid has a rebbe who
has a certain midah which is wrong, so if you're in a position to tell
the talmid that it'll be a davar nishmoa, so then one is mechuyav
to tell the talmid that that midah of your rebbe. The
belief in a Messiah who comes back from the dead is not a traditional Jewish
concept. What's more, what sort of led to that belief, which is a cultic type
obsession with a person is also very, very antithetical to our masorah.
Throughout our masorah, baruch Hashem, וגדולי
המסורה בכל
דור ודור
have always been
people of towering, staggering stature.

It's always been the case. In the 20th century alone, the
world has yet to begin to appreciate who the Rav was. A little bit, a little
bit you can be tohe when you read his sifrei machshavah, read the
chidoushei Torah as much as possible in the original, so you have an
unfiltered exposure. A little bit you begin to see, a little bit you're able to
be tohe that meshupa umala gevoha.

You learn Reb Chaim, a little bit, a little bit of the באר יורד
עד התהום
. But no one, their talmidim didn't have a cultic
obsession with their rebbe. They appreciated to varying degrees
depending upon their keilim and their capacity to recognize who that
person was. They appreciated who it was, they were mitabek ba'afar ragleihem
as a person should be if he has a rebbe who is bar-urya.

But the rebbe was for all his greatness, he was a rebbe.
He wasn't a cult-like figure. And when the rebbe was niftar and
went to olam ha'emes, so you went on in life, you went on in life. Reb
Boruch Ber, who couldn't have been a more farbrente chossid of Reb
Chaim
than Reb Boruch Ber, so when Reb Chaim was niftar, so
Reb Boruch Ber famously said, "A person can't live without having a rebbe,"
so he went to the Chofetz Chaim and said he wants to become a talmid.

I think it's the Chofetz Chaim—the Chofetz
Chaim
was actually older than Reb Chaim, but was much more marich
yamim
, so he outlived Reb Chaim by some 15 years or so. And יפתח
בדורו כשמואל
בדורו
.
And after the rebbe dies, you don't open a letter, you don't open a
volume of Igros and think that he is communicating with you from the
grave. And after your rebbe dies, you don't send faxes to a secretary
and think that you're communicating with him.

That's all, I don't know what it is, but it's not Jewish and
it's not Torah. And the fact that were this not the case, there would be so
much good that they do. Those who believe in this. There are some Lubavitcher
who don't believe in this, who are wonderful, erliche, upstanding Jews
who don't have these meshugashen, I mean chas veshalom that
everyone believes in it, but too many of them do, too many of them do,
sufficiently that you can't assume that the person doesn't unless you have
indication that he doesn't.

But so again, we're not chas veshalom painting everyone
with the same brush. It's certainly not the case that there were yereim
ushleimim
who don't subscribe to either to the distortion of the belief in Melech
HaMoshiach
and על אחת
כמה וכמה
who don't believe in
the avodah zarah-dicke neshoma which I said about the Lubavitcher.
Talking about those who do. We're not lumping everyone in one group together, chas
veshalom
.

There's also a big difference between... As as objectionable
and as much as one should keep one's distance even from the meshichistin,
you can't equate the bilbul of the meshichistin with the bilbul
of those who are mamash making him into avoda zara. The fact that
there are Chabad houses wherever you go doesn't doesn't compensate for
for it if Chabad houses a distortion of traditional Jewish belief in Melech
HaMoshiach
. The fact that they provide kosher food and the fact that they
could provide a minyan doesn't that doesn't whitewash and if if there
would be some other clearly unambiguous distortion of Yahadus which
again provided all the conveniences be it the physical conveniences of Yahadus
such as the kashrus be it the the spiritual structure of a minyan
and such but it has to be genuine Yahadus otherwise the whole thing is
is k'choizeh v'eino shoveh and and the the convenience and the
availability and the universal availability of the resources but one has to
know that one has to know that that it's a traditional Jewish place.

It might be, but you can't assume that it is. You can't you
can't assume that it is. When it comes to some of these maisim of people
coming back even or the previous generations coming back in dreams and
communicating even from the dead whatever it is. So like my shver when a
person opens the Igros Kodesh expecting some ability for previous
generations to be able to communicate to them like even though I guess there's
a difference between communicative and and no no one ever made again whatever
one's reaction to such maisim are and and obviously there is a range of
reactions to such such maisim or standard range of reactions to whether
one should refer to them as such maisim or such alleged maisim
reflects the the range of reactions but whatever the range of of reaction hayu
m'oilam
and is is no one ever made it a shita.

Someone thought that they had a chalom in which it
happened once it happened amol but but they had a communication no one
made it into a shita no one made it into that no one made it into an an
effective denial of death and no one made it into a shita of you don't
need a new rebbe because he's still the the manhig hador. No one
ever was reticent about saying zichrono livracha. Some of them will not
say zichrono livracha. He didn't die, he's just pulling the strings from
from somewhere else.

That's not Jewish. And and the fact that that you can go into
a Chabad house wherever you are in the world and eat kosher food, bring
your tiffin from home. You can't avail yourself and I'm not saying chas
v'shalom
I'm not saying chas v'shalom to starve to death and I'm not
chas v'shalom but one can't avail oneself of that just and having a beer
doesn't having a beer doesn't doesn't make one frum. One is not frum
by virtue of having a by virtue of having a beer.

They say a loshon of of from the Chasam Sofer
that that someone the Chasam Sofer thought he had de'os cozvos.
Thought he had a beard, payos, the Chasam Sofer thought I think
they say a loshon from Chasam Sofer, אונטער
די בארד איז
ער א מגולח
. Under the beard he he really under the beard he's he's shaving
with a razor.

אונטער
די בארד איז
ער א מגולח
.

A beard doesn't make one frum. A beard and a black hat
doesn't it's it's what's underneath the beard that whatever. Not commenting on halacha
l'maaseh
on what shave or not shave, it's just to be to be to be drawn. I'm
totally with you and that the talk of Moshiach, you didn't say it's a
distortion about the belief in Moshiach.

No, I'm not saying meshichistin are toivah.
That's what I'm saying, there's a very very major difference between those who
say the again for those who... yereim u'sheleimim and chas veshalom,
and no one should ever lump everyone together in the same category. It's not
true.

But lemaiseh, and ain hakhi nami, there's a
very, very clear difference between the Meshichistim and those who say
the avodah zarah-dikke type of lashonos. The Meshichistim
are not kofreem. What are these avodah zarah-dikke lashonos?
What are these avodah zarah-dikke lashonos? You can look in Dr.
Berger's book where he's melakeit some of the, and any one of these
things is unequivocal avodah zarah-dikke lashonos describing ein
sof
aveshpohlt in a guf, that's avodah zarah, that's avodah
zarah
. And kehai gavna, and kehai gavna, and kehai gavna,
you have to be kria on such lashonos.

So you could either say that the best and only limud zechus
is that the shichlus with the lashon, shichlus is so far
that I don't know what they're saying. But for the lashonos, they're
unequivocal avodah zarah-dikke lashonos, and the only possible limud
zechus
is that they don't know what they're saying, and in fact that's true
of many, but they don't even know, they don't know what they're saying. They
start throwing around kabbalah-dikke lashonos and trust me, they
don't understand those lashonos any better than you and I do. And
they're worse off because at least we know we don't understand them.

And other people who throw them around think they know, but
they don't understand. But ain hakhi nami, 100%, if a person has a bilbul,
a person thinks Mashiach is gonna come back from the dead, it doesn't
make him a kofer. 100%, a person is not a kofer. It doesn't...

but that it's a major distortion of Yahadus, it is. And
ain hakhi nami, it does not, l'fi aniyus da'ati, it does not
render the person a kofer with all the implications and repercussions
that such a status has. But on the other hand, it is enough that it's not
something that a person is supposed to be a part of because it's not, it's not peshat.
Lu yehei, lu yehei that a person thought that, had this mistaken
belief that Mashiach is gonna be resurrected against the Zohar,
against the story with the Puppe, lu yehei.

But it wasn't the pillar of his belief, it wasn't the pillar
of his faith. It wasn't, okay, so I don't know that, I'm not sure how much it
would affect our dealings and interactions. Again, if that's the case, then you
have to figure it out. But over here, this is central to what the whole
movement is.

It's not peshat that it's a little, a little, a little
self-contained compartmentalized toes, but this is the whole thing, is
the Rebbe, the Rebbe, the Rebbe. So it's not peshat
a marginal, important error. No, it's at the, at the core of for significant
segments of what the movement stands for, what the movement represents. It's
not for a lack of ahavas Yisrael, it's not sin'ah to say these
things.

It's that we're not supposed to... if someone says two plus
two is five, so it's not a question of ahavas Yisrael to keep quiet, and
it's not an expression of sin'as chinam to say no, two plus two isn't
five, two plus two is four. That's the emes, that's mesorah, and
it's not an expression, ahavas Yisrael is irrelevant. It's not that it
isn't ahavas Yisrael, it's not that it is ahavas Yisrael.

It isn't, but that's not... Tosafos loved Rashi,
when he said his peshat in the Gemara was wrong, they said it was
wrong. So this is obviously not eilu v'eilu, that's Rashi and Tosafos
is eilu v'eilu. And it's important to know it and it's important to tell
others also.

What do we do with sources from Chazal that seem to
indicate this phenomenon of the Mashiach being a Chabadnik? One
last shiur Rashi in Sanhedrin 98 that says he's Rav,
Rav Shila, or Rav Hanina. David is saying that some rabbanim
really ended up in a cultist obsession in their lifetime even. What's the
differences between that cultist obsession and like sort of rebbe
worshiping that happens today and certainly like rebbe worshiping that
happened in the Chassidus of the heyday in Europe in the 1800s? The question,
albeit loaded, and I'm not sure that I necessarily endorse the lashon of
the question, but the question's an important question. Is it true that there's
a phenomenon today that it's often the case that talmidim in their
innocence and sincerity have a exaggerated sense of who their rebbeim
are? Yes, it is true, and we're not supposed to be that way.

We're supposed to have an accurate perception of who our rebbeim
are because if I underestimate my rebbe I can't be mekabel as
much from him as I potentially could, but if I overestimate my rebbe so
then it's כל
המוסיף
כניטול דמי
.

כל
המוסיף
כניטול דמי
is a
principle in treifus, but it's a principle in life also. Too much is as
bad as too little. If I overestimate my rebbe so then I'll be mekabel
what I shouldn't be mekabel from the rebbe.

So that that phenomenon exists is correct and it's one that we
should be mindful of, it's one that we should try not to be drawn into, and it
requires a delicate balance. Depending upon where in one's travels in Jewish
communities one goes, so there are places where rabbanim are
overestimated and there are places where rabbanim are underestimated and
sort of which of the two should be emphasized depends upon which tzibbur
one is talking to, but the phenomenon exists, yeah, it does exist and you're
right, it's not a healthy phenomenon, it's a harmful phenomenon. There is a big
difference between that and I wouldn't describe that as rebbe
worshiping. Those same people who at times do have an exaggerated sense of who
the rebbe is, it's not a cultic figure.

If chas veshalom the rebbe is niftar so
life goes on and you don't have to, it's not unimaginable that the person is no
longer here and you don't have to come up with, you don't have to put kvitalach
in the tzion and in the ohel and you don't have to open a book of
letters and find answers to your question that way. It doesn't translate into
that because to begin with it's a very, very different phenomenon. Not a
correct phenomenon but ke-rachok mizrach mimaarav, but a dramatically,
dramatically different one. And the same is true that even if it is true that
let's say a particular chassid does have an exaggerated sense of who his
particular rebbe is, I'm not saying whether it's true or false, but even
if it is true, again, it belongs, it's from the same cloth as having an
exaggerated sense when a talmid has an exaggerated sense of who his rebbe
is, of who his rav is.

And that's why the Chassidim, the Rebbe dies, so
then they'll transfer their loyalty to the Rebbe's son, or to the Rebbe's,
the Rebbe's m'malei makom, because it isn't a... it isn't
centered on that Yachid. And it's not supposed to be. It's centered on
the Ribbono Shel Olam, and it's not centered on...

on any Basar V'dam. Moshe Rabbeinu, Moshe
Rabbeinu
died. Okay, so now it's time to listen to Yehoshua. If...

if that transition can be made with Moshe Rabbeinu, it
can be made with... it can and should be made with anyone and... and everyone
else. Ari mentioned that too many Lubavitchers believe this.

That we don't assume they don't believe it unless we know that
they don't. So I'm wondering what's the hagdarah for when we stop being melamed
zechus
for a stranger on the street? That if they're... if they're
associated with some sort of general group that we'd say the majority of them
believe a certain thing, then is that the hagdarah that at 51 percent,
once 51 percent of the group that the person is associated with believe
something, then we assume that they believe that as well? Again, it's not
equivalent to say, saying you can't assume they don't believe it is not the
same as saying you assume they do believe it. I mean logic 101.

But I thought to say... let's say... say... safek.

I grew up in Boston, so you can't assume that I'm not a Red
Sox fan. That doesn't mean you should assume that I am a Red Sox fan. It means
you should have a safek whether... you should see, you should look in my
closet to see what baseball caps I have.

And there's a safek whether I have a Red Sox cap or...
or a Yankees cap. So then what you're doing now then is just that after this
there's in a state of safek that they believe or not? It's not that
we... there's already a safek.

Unfortunately, the whole movement is safek by us.
Unfortunately, unfortunately very sadly, very painfully, very tragically, but
the whole movement is... is safek by us. But again, that's the sholom.

We... I'm... aderaba. I'm...

I'm saying you can't assume that someone doesn't believe it.
And... and... and you certainly can't assume the worst, of the Avodah Zarah,
that they believe he's Hashem.

Because that certainly is... is a minority, and a small amount
of a minority, but there's a safek, safek, a minority. But that's
min ha-pashut. But unfortunately the Meshichistin are
sufficiently numerous that there is already a safek.

And you can't assume that they don't, and you can't assume
that they don't believe it. A very distinguished Rav told me that...
that a shaliach came to his neighborhood and... and was opening a Chabad
house.

So he asked him be-pashut, "What do you believe
about? Do you believe the Rebbe is Moshiach? You don't believe
the Rebbe is Moshiach?" And he said to him, "Rabbi,
that is a belief that's private." You can't assume, you can't assume that
they don't. Which doesn't mean, chas ve-shalom, assume that they do. But
it does mean, it does mean that you can't assume that they don't. So maybe
we'll...

we'll move to the 13th Ikkar, and be-ezrat Hashem
afterwards, we'll still have to fill in 6 through 9. The 13th Ikkar
is... is Techiyat HaMeitim. So here, what...

we're fortunate to have what we have, the Rambam's own parshanus.
In the 12th Ikkar, in terms of responding to the Chatam Sofer's
question, so we were sort of left to our own devices to try to understand why
it's, again, either foundational or... or not foundational, but at least
fundamental. But by Techiyat HaMeitim, so the Rambam tells us meforash.

The Rambam was... the Rambam was... The Rambam's
view was distorted and he was maligned as not believing in literal physical Techiyas
HaMeisim
. And this was bisof yamav, and he wrote a very famous
letter in response, which is known as Iggeres Techiyas HaMeisim.

So there the Rambam tells us why he classified again
the Mishnah in Perek Chelek, right, which is the point of
departure for the Rambam's list of the Yud Gimmel Ikkarim says
that אלו שאין
להם חלק לעולם
הבא האומר
שאין תחיית המתים
מן התורה שאין
תחיית המתים
. The Rambam explains that he says אמנם אשר
נכחשו זאת
but what we
deny is someone who says שלא
תשוב הנפש
לגוף לעולם
ושלא ייתכן
היות זה
and that it can't be that
that to believe in physical resurrection to believe in the reunification of nefesh
and guf and resurrection is something which is impossible. Why? Because
says the Rambam if you think that's impossible שזאת
ההכחשה מביאה
להכחשת
הנפלאות כולן
. If a person denies belief in physical
resurrection so then he'll deny belief in all miracles because ein hachi
nami
Techiyas HaMeisim is a miracle.

Pesach is a miracle. But if if that is basis for
thinking that it can't be that there's going to be a Techiyas HaMeisim
and and that it must be that anything about Techiyas HaMeisim is a
metaphor and is not to be taken literally, so שזאת
ההכחשה מביאה
להכחשת
הנפלאות כולן
והכחשת המופת
כפירה בעיקר
ויציאה מן הדת
and to deny the possibility of miracles so that that's mamash kfira.
And then the Rambam says ולא
זה נחשוב
תחיית המתים
מפינות התורה
. And that's why I listed Techiyas
HaMeisim
as one of the ikarei hadas.

So basically what the Rambam here is telling us, it's a
remarkable parshanus, that in a sense the belief in Techiyas HaMeisim
is really belief in miracles. That's really what the thirteenth ikkar
is. Belief in miracles. Earlier just to provide context on on this point, so
the Rambam had said that where we the pasuk which meforash
לפי פשוטו
של מקרא
refers to the belief in Techiyas
HaMeisim
are the pesukim in Daniel.

זאת
תחיית המתים
והיא שוב הנפש
לגוף אחר המות
כבר זכרה גם
כן דניאל
זכרון שאי
אפשר לפרשו
that
you can't reinterpret.

והוא
אמרו ורבים
מישני אדמת
עפר יקיצו
those who are
sleeping in the earth, I mean people who have already died, right, those who
are sleeping in the earth ורבים
מישני אדמת
עפר יקיצו
that they will
they will wake up אלה
לחיי עולם
ואלה לחרפות
ולדראון עולם
ואמר המלאך לו
ואתה לך לקץ
ותנוח ותעמוד
לגורלך
you will arise for your
destiny lketz hayamim at the end of days. Subsequently the Rambam
says well why isn't it legitimate to interpret these pesukim
metaphorically? I mean we do interpret some pesukim metaphorically,
right, when you have a pasuk that says yad Hashem or einei
Hashem
, so we don't say that that pasuk is to be understood
literally, we understand it metaphorically. So maybe ורבים
מישני אדמת
עפר יקיצו
or ותעמוד
לגורלך לקץ
הימים
maybe that should also be understood
metaphorically.

So the Rambam says a very very important yesod, Rav
Saadia Gaon
talks about in a different context talks about this this issue
also, but the Rambam says that that you only you only interpret a pasuk
metaphorically, you only don't take it at face value if either you have a
tradition that way. Right, we have a tradition that והיו
לטטפות בין
עיניך
doesn't mean to put the tefillin
over here, and וקשרתם
לאות על ידך
doesn't
mean to put the tefillin on the palm of your hand. So either you have a kabbalah,
you have a tradition from Torah she-be'al peh, or It's something that's
impossible. Or even if you don't, you don't need to have a tradition if you
know, if it's self-evident and understood that the pasuk cannot be
understood literally.

All right, just משל
למה הדבר דומה
, so sometimes we use a phrase,
exaggerations or something, hyperbole, when it's clear that obviously what
we're that that's what we're doing, right? And that we don't intend it
literally. And when you talk about a skyscraper, right? So there's a big, I saw
a big skyscraper in Manhattan. So obviously no one no one above age two thinks
that the top of the building is scraping the is scraping the sky. So it's so if
something is impossible, so then that's not a מקרא
יוצא מידי
פשוטו
because it's self-evident that it's
not to be taken literally.

So, says the Rambam, there is no tradition that says
that the pasuk in Daniel shouldn't be taken literally. The only way it
would be self-evident that the pasuk shouldn't be taken literally is if
one denies miracles of Ribono Shel Olam, and the Rambam says and
that's gufeh why why the pasuk can't and and shouldn't be
shouldn't be reinterpreted. But the Rambam didn't have the the girsa
which which Rashi has. If you take a look in in Rashi in in Perek
Chelek
, so so the girsa that Rashi has in the mishna
it's ואלו
שאין להם חלק
לעולם הבא
האומר אין
תחיית המתים
מן התורה
.

And even Rashi apparently knew of of our girsa
because Rashi says hachi garsinan. hachi garsinan האומר אין
תחיית המתים
מן התורה
. I think, I think, and double check that in in the Rambam's
text you don't have those two words min ha'Torah. You just have האומר אין
תחיית המתים
.

But Rashi's girsa האומר
אין תחיית
המתים מן
התורה
.
What's the difference? Because Rashi says that what the two words min
ha'Torah
mean, which is again the girsa that he accepts, is שכופר
במדרשות
שדרשינן
בגמרא לקמן
מניין לתחיית
המתים מן
התורה ואפילו
יהיה מודה
ומאמין שיחיו
המתים אלא
דלאו מן התורה
היא כופר הוא
הואיל ועוקר
שיש תחיית
המתים מן
התורה מה לנו
ולאמונתו וכי
מהיכן הוא
יודע שכן הוא
הלכך כופר
גמור הוא
. So so Rashi says, again Rashi's girsa is האומר אין
תחיית המתים
מן התורה
. No, he thinks that that these drashas aren't true.

az yashir Moshe, all the different remazim that
take look in the Gemara, and and I guess bichlalam also the the Rambam's
psukim
in Daniel, that a person says no, none of these things really allude
to techiyat ha'metim, but it's takeh emes, it is emes that
there's going to be a techiyat ha'metim. So Rashi says if he sort
of makes up that belief on his own and he doesn't accept our source for that
belief, then then that's not the belief of of techiyat ha'metim, mah
lanu u'le'emunato
. The Rambam doesn't have that whole discussion.
The Rambam just has the girsa האומר
אין תחיית
המתים
.

Meaning that it includes just not believing in techiyat
ha'metim
. Meaning it doesn't have to be like being it has to be that the
person believes that the Midrashim are true or I don't think all the psukim
are only and whatever all the drashas say, let me remember yeah, the Gemara's
psukim
not only from Chumash but also from from Tanakh as
well. Okay, so maybe. So what we'll start with today, so I think in terms of Kiddushin,
so we'll start the Chazarah, but maybe remember be'ezrat Hashem
to make sure we have time for the remaining four, six through nine, six through
ten.

So we'll probably have more than just Thursday, but that would
be which days, we'll try to figure that out. But in terms of Kiddushin,
so let's do the Chazarah, I think the Kinnus is supposed to be
next week, next Monday, and we'll try to remember to finish this unit next
week.
